an act of provocation as to require submission by their Protestant subjects, to a Papal mandate. The recent discoveries in Russia, may have disclosed facts, tending to increase those ap. prehension& from which the Holy Alliance originated. A correspondence may have subsisted between the liberals. of Russia, and those of Italy, and Germany, but unless the causes which lead the members of Secret Associations to con- Ipire for innovations be removed, the interfer ence of the Pori will prove abortive. I The imprisonment of KASCILIOutt in the Inqui sition, is said to be far from rigorous, and if we mily believe wliet is said from Rome, those got sufferitl imprisonment in the highest degree, are allowed apartments of a very different charac ter from the ideas generally formed of the nature of incarceration in the house of that once formi dable tribunal : ROME, FEB. 26. There is much talk ofa Bull which the Pope will address to the Clergy of all Catholic Christendom, calling upon them to pursue and extirpate the political sects, whose object is to overthrow the" throne and the altar, to undermine the public tranquillity, and every where to spread licentiousness and mur der. Ilis Holiness not only exhorts the Clergy, but commands them to employ all the means in their power, as well to discover the Secret Societies already existing, as to prevent the forma thin of any new ones. The Bull is already printed, but pro bably only one'copy has yet been struck 011% at Last one is now circulated among the Cardinals, in order, as it seems, to be taken into consideration in 'a congregation. It is believed that the events in Russia, in which the Secret Societies have acted a dangerous part, were the immediate causes of the issuing of this Bull. Many persons pretetid that in every country in Europe (England, perhaps, excepted) every pe riodical meeting of a large number of persons, of whatever na. ture it may be, will be prohibited. Here in fact the police begins to pay attention to such large companies, which did not use to be.the case. Thus, for in. stance, a meeting of the French here, about 8 in number, who gave a grand entertainment to the famous poet Casimir de Davigne, had much difficulty in obtaining permission, and, it is said, through the intervention of the French Ambassador. A pompous account of it, with panegyrics on Mr. De la Vign in prose and verse, which his countrymen proposed to print in the Notizie de Glom°, has passed through the hands of the Censors, and Will appear in the next number. I must say scmething more of Kaschiour, all Rome affirmed, and I therefore did not hesitate to say, that be wits first sentenced by the InqtriSition to death, and then, bYthe especial clemency of His Holiness to imprisonment for life in the Palace of the Inquisition. I can now say from good authority, that there was no question of the punishment of death, but that the last mentioned punishment was at once determined upon. Nor does he lutler the penalty of imprisonment in the highest degree, but is allOifed to walk for two hour! in the day in the. garden, dressed as a secular priest, and it is said he employs himself in cultivating flowers. The prisons of the Inquisition are rooms kept extremely, clean, decently furnished, and even cheerful, which would not look like prisons were not the windows so , high' that nobody can look out of them. The diet of the pri soners is not only • good and wholesome, but occasionally even excellent.. It is true they can take only what is given them, and what.they writais communicated to the tribunal. • The following are the most interesting of the news of the day. Philip, Doris, who obtained for the Paella of ' Bagdad a great victory over another Pacha, and was for this service appointed instructor of the army, with a salary of 12,000 piastres (a little snore than as many francs), •is not de scendecl from the great family of that name, but from that of a vespectable citizen of Rome. Ile was formerly Lieutenant in the troope of the line here, but had the misfortune to be ba • nished in consequence of a duel (others say for his political ° P ini 9s). Hereupon he went . to Spain and went into the army of the Cortes. When the constitution was overthrOwn he went toAsia, intenditig to serve the Greeks, but fortune decreed otherwise, and he found an opportunity to do the Pacha of Bagdad the service a bove-mentioned. He seems, however, not.to like his situa tion, for he has applied for permission to return to the Roman States, and has employed the intervention of the General of the Capuchin Convent. A brother of Doria is clerk in one of the Government offices at Rome. The notorious Bergami, who has lived here for some months, has been , lately a subje c t o f c o nve rs a tion. It is reported that he has be en engaged in an offensive intrigue, and banished Froth: Roma in consequence. Signor Pgriccio, too, has been spoken of, not for his poetical, but for his political Ina. proviiatione. On account of the latter, he has been refuted a PSsport to Naples, to which he intended to go.

E.t4TEit SoNn.%Y.—Much difference prevailed in the Eastern and ‘restern Churches respecting the precise time of observing Easter; till, in 325, the Council of Nice de dared that the feast should be kept by all Churches on the same day. Easter is styled by the fathers the highest of all festivals, the feast of feasts, the queen of festivals, and Deminica•Gamiii, the joyous Sunday. Masters granted freedom to their slaves at this season, and valuable presents were . Matk to the poor. A very singular custom formerly prevailed at Lostici thiel, in Cornwall, upon Easter Sunday. The freeholders of the town and manor having assembled topther, either in person or by • their 'deputies, one among them, each in his turn, gaily attired and gallantly mounted, with a seeptrx in his hand. a crown on his head, and a sword borne before him, arid respect fully attended by all the rest on horseback, rode through the principal streets in it aalemn state to the cln!reh. At the church yard stile the curate or other minister approached to meet him in reverential pomp, and then conducted him to church to hear divine service. On leaving the church, he to. paired with the sameTomp and retinue to a house previontly prepared for his.reeepiien. Here a feast suited to the dignity he had assumed awaited'him and his suite ; and being idaced at the head of the table, he was served, kneeling, with all the rights and ceremonies that a real prince Might expett. This ceremony ended with the dinner; the Prince being volunta rily disrobed, And ileieending from his momentary ex. .on to mix with comma mortals. . (hi the . origin :of' this custom but one qpinion can be re a s ona bly en t erta i ne d, t h oug h it may be dillie s * to trace the . precise period of its commencement. — It seems '..to have originated in the actual appearance Of the Princp, who resided at liestormel Castle in former ages.

We have already expressed our opinionon the propositions of the Chancery Commissioners, and, the degree of good that may be 'reasonably expected to be derived from carrying theta recommendations into effect. We have now had further opportunity for reading the " hx7 planatory Paper" of Mr. BEAMES, and which we find is meant for •the instruction of gentlemen who are not lawyers by profession, to enable them the better to understand the full scope and force of the alterations , the Commissioners propose to risk, in the practice of the Court of ChanCery. In reeding this explanatory paper, however, there is one circumstance that forcibly strikes the mind, viz. that the proposed alterations are for the most part modifications of previous orders of former Chancellors, and hence we wonder how it was, if power and authority existed originally to make these Orders, that the same power and authority were not exerted • to allow and vary them as occasion and the in leres:s of justice seem to 'require. , On this view of the case, the labours of the Commissioners might have been spared, for they have acted simply in, the Capacity of D,puty Chancellors, and sug gested nothing boron(' that, which might and ought to have be e n ( l obe , by the Ch an c e llor for the time hehtg, 'without the authority and spe cial responsibility of a body of Commissioners. This commission, thereforeofter all, has failed of producing any sort of good, ext-ept by pretty broadly pointineoutw hat was the imperative' duty of one of the Commissioners himself. But not only is there reason to be disatisfied with the Report, there is reason also to be disatiSfied with the principles by which the Commissioners were actuated, in recommending the alterations 'they have done. Mr. 13r.Aims,in Lis Explanatory ference to the 6th Proposition, has this remarkable. expression, when speaking of the steps the Plain tiff is now to be compelled to pursue before his Bill shall' be taken pro confess() : If in the infancy otCourtli of Equity, alt ON caution which this long series of proceedings implies, could be considered ne cessary, in order to soften down the objections to the jurisdic tion itself, it scarcely can he requisite, at a period when the jurisdiction is fully established, to encumber the suitor with the delay and expellee occasioned by these various steps to eilect the sante object. I f therP he.atty meaning in these words at all, it shows clearly what has often been aniNed and oftenas t denied, viz. that the jurisdiction of our Colitis of Equity was an usurpation, and contrary to law. If it , were not sin usurpation, or rather 1 if it were a proper jurisdiction, there was no ne. cessity to introduce cautions into the practice in order " 10 s,?fien down Ow eljeclioi is" to it; and if these cautions were introduced for any other par. pose, is is dieter that the ahandooment of them, even when The far/sr/id/on is jilt% established,' could not he . justified. lint we have ltere tho authority of the Chancery Commissioners, for Paying that the jurisl.liction was at least ohjec. tionable in its origin, and .that it now stood upon long continued usage. But usage, however unit). terrupted, 'ought not to sanction a had *custom. This opinion of the Commissioners would give„ nevi turn to the celebrated controversy betwren the great Sir Eow.tno COKE and Lord ELLEft. sista: in 106, whether the Court tit Chancery could give relief avinst a judgment at law —Sir hnw:can founding his, proposition,on the statutes of ,Prattnunire, runlespeci:tily the 4th Henry I V. c. 13, which expressly declared that 44 after judo 7. ment in the Court of the Lord the King, the parties should be at peace, until it was re. vested 'by a Court' of Error." There is another passage in this explanatory reference to the 6th proposition, which, in our opi nion, is highly re prelteosible ; it is the reason given why a nott-hailable , attachment should not be issued against vontumacioui defendants, instead of sendirig a Serjeant at Arms, at a great ex pence, to the parties. This reason is as follows ' This suggestion overlooks the circumstance, that a dread of the vx pence may, in this individual instance, operate beneficially a t ts i btl p laA l t n ns a rs ( h i: a t a . e s t d ohu a e ll r side: fondant S e t ):I d u i ) ; 3 l: o ( rt zd onp t i o bwe zi t t eit onntuthiteiolislY , and v a c Serjeant try Baal. We do declare this to he rnw, t i;qproper and most, disgraceful. The Courts have nothing to do with the fears of the suitors, , or any right to the the ir ; proces s o r'r' A- A . 1 . 1 0%1 1 ; 1: la :i r e ) r e l e ' t i t ( ) it through fear qf expenec.

But, if there be any sincerity in the kind corn- miseration of the 'Commissioneri. towards the bodily sufferings of the defendant, whet, ce r n• mitted to prison on the non-bailable attachment, it is. very easy to meet their beneficent fires[ ntiosrv, by Striking out the bionPsY ncq/ 1 send a i ing these attitcluneuts ti, he, bailable lit 5' as common writs;against which pr°c"diog real nr substantial objection you be advanced.

Ills next mitt was to Overton, 66mile:4, of one o'clock where our informant left him travelling in the rain. At this time he was backed to win, the weather not being considered against him only as to shoes. Tor Gitecg De.einies.—A Greek, called Nicol.° CHIA PALA, has. just published in Lon rle►n, in the shape of a letter to the Loan MA Wilt, more serious accusations against his countrymen than have ever appeared bi the Austrian Observer, lie charges the Government with rapacity, venality, and, corruption. lie announces his despair of their cause, unless the Governments of Europe step in between then and the Mussulman - scymetar ; and he crowns all by a narrative of an act of oppression, injustice, and ingratitude, towards himself, which, if it did not produce, could not fail to eggmate, his other complaints. According to this statement, Capt. Nicoll) Chia fa la had been so ardent a friend, of Greek. Tibet 1, that he has traversed half the world to proeure it. funds and friends. In the year 189.3, he left Tri polizza, and proceeded to Calcutta, in the. East Indies, where he obtained subscriptions to the amount of five.and-twenty thousand rupees., —This suns was placed at .the disposal of the Greek Committee in London, with an under ' standing or stipulation that the expellees of Cap.. tain Mauler; journey (amounting to 1501.) should be paid out of it before its appropriation. It was, boWever, withdrawn without'this deduction, and the Captain has been left to starvation, or, to the success of a petition to that very Gov. rnment which he now denounces. The Greek Deputies here refuse to pay his claims, and have only afford him a pittance 'to enable him to return home. We know nothing about the facts of the case, and cannot decide on such an. ex parte staftment ; but if they are as the author - of the letter repre sents them, the conduct of the Greek Govern ment and ;their Louden Del Niles cannot be too strongly reprobated: The Anniversary of the City of London Gene ral Pension Society was , hild on Thursday fit the City of Lon don Tavern.

LIEUT. CLOSE AND MESS GRUBB. [Further Particulars.] CLONMEL, AI.IItCH S.—Between one and two o'clock 011 Wednesday last, the body of LieUt. CLOSE was discovered in the river, about a mite from town by two mqn (one of them a boatman), who walked down the quay in search of it. The shadow of the body first attracted their notice, and on a closer inspection, when the sun shone more brightly, they fully saw the body, which, on being touched, easily rose'to the :,ut fare. In a few minutes it was removed from its watery bed, and placed on the quay, whence, as soon as a door was procuted, it was removed to the Court.house. Shortly after it was found want of the *lee arrived ; and very soon after, Ilrad , hatv, Eqq, (a Magistrate) came to the pot, and took from the pocket of the dertei , ,ed's pantaloons, a watch and seal, a purse cotitaioing t n one pound notes, and five shil lings amid sixpence British, in silver, a bunch of keys, and two lancets. The body was discovered in a place where the weter had been deep, and about four or five yards in front the bank,--- The body having been removed to the Court. house, was inspected by a number of medical Gentlemen, but no marks of violence appeared. An inquest sat upon the body, and after a very long and minute examination Of witnesses, a ver ' - diet, was returned of " Fouud Drowned." The Court oas dissolved about twenty minutes after three o'oluck, and shortly after the deceased conveyed to the church-yard by the 85th regi. rnent, where he was interred with military ho. Hours. About two o'clock yesterday the young Lady's body was found near Kilsheelan.bridge, two miles from the place where the body of Mr. Close was discovered. Her body was fOUtid on its back, close to lbs. wilts, with which, it ap pears, the cloak got entangled. The young lady's body having been examined by the same respectable medical gentlemen as inspected Lieutenant Close, there were no marks of vio lence whatever discnvered. Her body was found wrapped up as when sho left her unele's house. The hood of her cloak was draysp over her bonnet and tied about her nec'k.. The body was found much spa t ii. d , and exhibited marks of pressure wherever there was any thin* tied about it'; als above her knees where the gar ters were tied—about the neck where the ribbon of her cloak was fastened. Miss Grubb was in her eighteenth year, above the middle size, and elegautly formed—her mouth and nose (which was of the Grecian form) letnarkably pretty ; her forehead possessed the perpendicular direc tion that excited admiration.; her eyes of a dark hazel colour ; her teeth remarkably white and regular; her countenance displayed intelligence, innocence, and great good humour'; her manners were agreeable, gentle, and unassuming. We have no doubt the catastrophe was purely accidental, the young pair, who were siucerely attached, while walking arm in erm, having fallen into the river from the quay. While the coffin, containine the remains of Miss Grubb, was passing through the s'treets yester - . day, a feeling of deep sorrow was pictured in the countenance of many hundreds present , on the occasion; most of the shop whitlows were closed throughout the day, and there was one sentiment—that of universal le grvt for her • fate, for she was from her chitdhood beloved for her amiable temper nod 'two and her manners were singularly mild ant prepossessing. 'but The m w pt w ho coti)iititteti the mbezzlement i n th e privy Council Ottiec, and was fiur some months susperal. td, has, we are told, been finally dismissed.
